#WhinnyWednesday Working together—mum, daughter #WhinnyWednesday

Working together—mum, daughter, and pony—with kindness, curiosity, and a lot of languages.

Emily and Gypsy are just starting out on their clicker/horse agility journey, and this short 'training' session includes so much:

 Clear communication (sometimes in English, sometimes in German -got to get that bilingual learning in 😉)

 Learning side by side.

 Building trust through positive reinforcement—for both humans and horses.

We’re definitely not aiming for perfection, but more of a connection. One cue, one giggle, one “brav" at a time.

Language learning isn’t just for schoolbooks!

#multilingualmonday 5 Phrases for Calmness – Fo #multilingualmonday

5 Phrases for Calmness – For humans and ponies.

A calm connection can be communicated—gently, consistently and bilingually.

Here are 5 phrases I say softly in both English and German, to build trust and slow the moment down—for both of us, as I get stressed to sometimes!!

breathe – atmen

It's okay – Alles gut

Slow down – Langsam

I'm here /I'm with you – Ich bin bei dir

Good boy/girl – brave junge/ braves mädchen

Don't forget language also creates a type of energy,  that can be conveyed to both people and ponies😊

Which phrase speaks to you most today?
